Stunning Coral Angel + Video

I actually started with a version of this that I saw online..  It "morphed" into something different, but I LOVE it.  Haven't you had that happen to you, too!! The background is a "wash" of ink on watercolor paper, that is then run through the Merry Melody 3D embossing folder.  The angel is embossing in gold, watercolored with ink, and then fussy cut.  Again, this is GORGEOUS in person!



Measurements:    

  • Petal Pink: 1/2 sheet
  • Gold Foil: 4" x 5 1/4" (with the center cut out)
  • Watercolor Paper: 3 3/4" x 5"
  • Shimmery White: 2 1/2" x 4 1/4", scrap
To Make This Card:

  • Cut center out from Gold Foil. (I use a rectangle die these days, but you can also cut it out with a Paper Trimmer.) Why have all that good, gorgeous paper go to waste under a layer!  Then, cut a small frame from the Ornate Frames from the piece you removed!
  • Mount this to a folded Petal Pink base.
  • Take the largest Watercolor Brush, and saturate the watercolor paper.  Now, take a smaller watercolor brush and pick up some Petal Pink ink from the lid of the ink pad.  If you can't squish enough ink in the lid, use a little reinker. And, brush over a portion of the watercolor paper.  Then, add some Calypso Coral ink.  Continue adding color, until you have a nice all-over watercolor look, in the intensity you would like.  Set aside to dry, while you work on the "angel".
  • Emboss the "angel" in gold embossing powder, onto strip of white.  Watercolor a base color in Petal Pink, first, the darken "creases" of her dress with Calypso Coral.
  • Her "hair" is Lt So Saffron Blend, the bird is Pool Party Blend.  Now, fussy cut her out.
  • Go back to watercolor paper and finish drying with Heat Tool, if necessary.  Then, run through Merry Melody 3D embossing fold.  It's ok if it's a little damp.  Remember we used to spritz the 3D folders!  If necessary, finish drying.  
  • Attach to card.  You will want to add adhesive to the entire edge.
  • Stamp and emboss sentiment in gold, and cut out with small Ornate Frame.  Split the Gold Foil frame and place behind.
  • Arrange angel and sentiment.  Attach "angel" to card with Dimensionals.  I attached the sentiment flat.
  • Finish with scattered Champagne Rhinestones, and a bow of gold trimmed Petal Pink ribbon (ret).
  • Fold Pool Party card in half. Run front through new Merry Melody 3D embossing folder.
  • Cut ornate frame from White piece. I used the Thick Basic White so my die cut better!
  • Emboss "angel" in Silver Embossing Powder. (she just fits!)
  • "Watercolor" dress with Pool Party Ink and water painter.  Her "hair" is Lt So Saffron Blend, and the "bird" is Dk Pool Party blend.
  • Attach to card front with Dimensionals.
  • Finish with bow in Pool Party sheer ribbon and scattered Rhinestones.
